A single visit to The Heel Bar led to Carl Rogers moving his shoe repair machinery in to work at the shop.

And when Rogers bought The Heel Bar all those years ago, he brought in Mary to help with repairs and clerical work.

The shop continued for about five years under Rogers‘ leadership before it moved to South Church Street. Rogers‘ wife, Mary, said Pinewood Shopping Center had come to fruition, prompting investors to open The Heel Bar in 1962.

Mary still works part-time at The Heel Bar with Danny Pharaoh, the only full-time employee.

Customer service and affordability is what has sustained The Heel Bar and kept customers coming back, Mary Rogers said.
